Generational Gap

ACMS, Elec, OPO;

You sound alot like the crusty old Captains I flew with when CRM started. All they could say was that CRM was bad for the industry. Bad for them to loose control.

Among the qualities necessary for a professional aviator (IMHO) are: the ability to empathise with others who make mistakes, the ability to analyse and learn from said mistakes, the awareness that yes "it" can happen to you, an understanding that there are more than one way to do things, and an open mind when presented with another viewpoint.

Quite frankly from the tone of your replies it is possible that you struggle in these areas. You may have been the best of the best of the best, but you seem to lack human factors understanding.

A professional aviator should keep abreast of current information and advances in all aspects of the job. A professional aviator should strive to continue improving. So should an international arline's training system.
